AMBER NATURALZ Reptaid Herbal Supplement for Small Reptiles | Herbal Pet Supplement for Immune Support | for Reptiles Under 250g | 1 Fluid Ounce Glass Bottle | Manufactured in The USA

Before I start my review I would like to state that I am not a professional, nor do I claim to be. I am simply an animal lover that wants the best for my pets! I ALWAYS recommend going to a reputable exotic vet, or at the very least an experienced breeder when your reptile is having health issues. Unfortunately, I know of no breeders in my area, and the only exotic vet in my town is AWFUL, and actually made my leo's illness worse several years back due to the poor handling and stress.That being said, I think this product is fabulous for mild illness, especially if you don't have access to a good vet or breeder like I do. I live in a humid area that is also cold in the spring, which sadly makes my poor leo prone to mild respiratory problems this time of year. She's still active and not loosing weight, but hasn't eaten for two months (even silkies, her favorite!) which just unsettles me. I've tried the Zilla appetite stimulant/supplement, which she flat out refused. I also tried making a homemade mix of mashed insects and baby food, but she inevitably got some in her nostrils wiping her nose around, which I think just made it worse; even on a good day she'd never eat enough to really supplement a meal. I was skeptical of this all natural voodoo stuff, but I've always heard good things so figured I'd give it a shot. We're on day 3 of ten, but so far so good! She ate a silkie tonight, and generally seems more bright eyed. I will update in a week to let you know if we have further success!If you've never given meds to a leo, for me the easiest way is to angle the syringe with the tip pointing up in front of your gecko's snout. -Very- lightly press, pushing out the liquid one drop at a time. If you press too hard, which really isn't very hard at all, it will all come out at once and be wasted! If you have a larger reptile, like a beardie, you can probably stick the syringe tip in their mouth and give the full dose in one go, but I've never had that work on my gecko, she's too quick! Leos will generally lick up the bead as it touches their snout, so it's still fairly simple. I have a fairly large female that weighs 66 g, and I stick with the .05 ml application. The other great thing about this stuff is that the dosage is so small, it's quick and easy and doesn't put undue stress on your animal. Last time my leo was sick, I had to give her .5 ml antibiotics (10 times as much) for 10 days; it could easily take 30 minutes to an hour on a bad day, and just stressed her out so much. She doesn't object to this at all, takes probably a minute or two max! Always wash your syringe after use. I'd recommend a fresh one for the next time you use it, and obviously separate syringes if you have multiple reptiles that need it.I hope your pet will soon be on its way to good health!Update 06/1/14My gecko finished the first 10 days of treatment; it's now been several additional days, and she's been consistently eating every other day like she used to! She's definitely much perkier and bright eyes as well, and I no longer here the slight 'click' when she breaths that indicates an RI. I decided not to continue the treatment (directions recommend 10 days on, 2 off, then another 10 days) because it seemed unnecessary! I'm happy I found this product, and would highly recommend it under the conditions I listed in my original review!

First off my leopard gecko hates this stuff... but it did help save her life and we had a hell of a time getting it in her but it did its job with repeated use it brought her back from the brink of death...My little lady Leo Wendy hates the stuff, she really really does not like taking it... with that said I do think this with a couple other things saved her life...Our adult female leopard gecko Wendy had a bad shed, and in trying to get the stuck shed skin off her tail she chewed a big gash in it, that quickly got infected, one morning after that I found her almost near death, she had just laid down to let herself die in her cold moist hide and she was as cold as ice and was almost dead, I ordered this and a box of repta-boost and some other stuff with overnight shipping, and started doing anything I could to help her, but she was so sick and the tail infection was so bad she just wanted to let go and die, once I started with reptaid and soaking her tail in medicated warm water and then using Neosporin on the wounded tail, and other stuff to first of all help her system fight the infection and then a high protein and high fat diet change to build strength and put on weight, we needed the repta-boost to get any nutrition into her and try to spur her to eat, and within a few days she started showing signs of improvement, she lost about a half of an inch off the end of her tail which mostly grew back when it healed, but after using reptaid and repta-boost with the other stuff she's doing very well, it's over a year now and she's doing very well and is healthy and happy, I still give her this stuff every few weeks to every couple months just to help her stay healthy and keep parasites to a minimum in her system and it seems to work pretty good, but she does hate it and fights me the whole time while trying to get her to take it, I have to load over a dose into the syringe because she spits it out and shakes her head hard to get it off her mouth so she doesn't have to take it but enough remains and she has to lick it off one way or another, she will also try to rub it off her mouth onto the paper towel or my hand to try and keep from licking it off her mouth, so she doesn't like it, but it did help save her so we try to get her to take it still, I need a new bottle because it is old now, but this stuff helped save our Wendy girl and she was able recover from almost death, I'll keep it on hand always if I can, and use it for our crested gecko too, we now have a new baby girl hatchling leopard gecko so she will be getting on a dose every now and then too...If you have a sick gecko (I can't speak for other types of reptiles because I don't own any other besides the two Leo's and a crested gecko) but it did help save our Wendy who we truly love and adore and it was heartbreaking to see her just lay down and stop fighting the illness and pain to die, and I did everything I could to save her and would do it again

This stuff is AMAZING. I cannot stress this enough - it really is. I was given a veiled chameleon who was in terrible shape - burns all over his body, terribly thin, and dehydrated. A few days after I got him, both of his eyes became terribly swollen and I rushed him to the vet for the second time in just a few short days. I did everything they told me to do, but his eyes were not getting any better after a couple weeks of treatment and I was told that I should seriously consider euthanizing him. Instead, I brought him home, found this product on Amazon, and gave him a low dose after it arrived.The very next day, the swelling in his eyes had decreased by 75%. One day later, the swelling was almost entirely gone, his strength had returned, and he was acting like a normal chameleon.This product saved this poor chameleon's life, relieved him of his pain and discomfort, and did it quickly and inexpensively.

This product along with Zilla jump start caloric supplement helped save my leopard gecko when she stopped eating and her eyes crusted over. We also under the advice of a vet, gave our lizard warm baths with a half cup of pedialyte added to the water. Our lizard went blind but she is back to full weight and is very happy and healthy again. It was a lot of work for a few months but we were able to save her. This product is good to have around for all lizards when they are sick.
